The secret to getting along with your parents-in-law, as well as anyone else, is setting, communicating, and enforcing healthy boundaries. If someone keeps walking all over us, butting into our lives, and making us miserable all the time, clearly they have very little respect for us.

It would be wonderful if they suddenly became fully self-aware and changed their behavior, but life rarely works this way. So it falls to you to let them know how their behavior is affecting you and to tell them what you expect from the relationship moving forward.

For my sons first birthday she gave him a roll of paper towels because..."Look! he loves it, doesn't even know whether it is a toy or not!" At age 3 for Christmas she gave him some random toiletries and cleaning supplies she bought at the dollar store, wrapped them and everything. Now I have to give my boy credit on those...after he opened them he said "This Christmas Sucks!" which caused major drama for my wife and I.

Some of the signs that you might have toxic in-laws include them disregarding your feelings, being invasive in your marriage, and being overly self-involved. Not only that but psychotherapist Dr. Susan Forward also notes that the worst parents-in-law will also try to one-up everything that you do and will gossip about you behind your back.

A few other red flags to look out for include in-laws who are overly critical of everything and anything that you do (nothing will ever be good enough for them), hold grudges, make you feel like you’re inferior, and enjoy stirring up as much drama as they can.

Boundaries. You've gotta shut that s**t down, otherwise it will continue.

48points

Aside from setting proper boundaries, it also helps if you try to emotionally detach yourself from whatever drama your in-laws whipped up this time around. Don’t judge yourself too harshly even if they keep criticizing you, and if everything else fails, spend some time apart from them.

For instance, if they keep butting into your lives, you may want to ask them not to come over so often because you and your partner are both incredibly busy. You can do this gently, politely, and diplomatically, but it still needs to be said. Your in-laws might think that they’re doing you favors out of love and they might not realize they’re being a nuisance. Or they know exactly what they’re doing and you need to be firm with them.

“Zero Social Awareness”: 30 People Reveal The Thing They Hate About Their In-Laws Their concept of time. They're all always shamelessly late to everything. And they all act like it's a cardinal sin to be early. They think they're "early" if they stroll in just in the nick of time.

For example, I've told them, "We have to be there at 7, and it's a 20 minute drive, so we should leave by 6:35 at the latest. So you need to be at our house at 6:30 so we can load the car".

"Why so early? I'll be at your house at 6:45".

Then they show up at 6:55 and can't understand why I'm pissed. And we get to where we're supposed to be at 7:15 and can't understand why everyone there is pissed.

At least my husband has gotten better about it. He still hates to be anywhere early but he plans and takes steps to be on time, not late.

There's nothing I hate about my in-laws but my MIL occasionally says some things that give me pause when she's in the room. For example, she wished me a happy birthday recently to which I casually replied, "Just another trip around the sun." My comment resulted in a 20 minute lecture about how the sun actually orbits the Earth based on her visual observation of it rising in the east and setting in the west every day. I often wonder how much of my partner's childhood trauma is a direct result of her mother's "unusual" beliefs.

No one knows what she did with the money, and my heavily disabled father in-law swiftly lost his home (despite the loans supposedly being for the mortgage payment). We have gone as no contact as possible.

That they were neglectful parents. I realize that they weren't in the best financial situation while my partner was growing up, but they kept his learning disability diagnosis a secret from him and he was left to his own devices most of the time. He's the youngest by a lot, and likely was not planned. He grew up without being encouraged to do well in school or to set goals in life. He also struggled a lot with affection early in our relationship because it wasn't modeled in his home growing up.

My partner doesn't hold it against them though, merely sees his childhood as a way to not raise our child so I have to commend him on that. I just wish he had been given the support and love a child deserves too.

They ate sandwiches in the room and spent most days walking around Juneau. He wanted to come home on day two. I have fixed things, helped her move, mowed her lawn, and a dozen other things. She has never once bought dinner as a thank you or to celebrate a special event. I remember years ago, we had a bad time and asked if we could live in her house for two months.

They are amazing people. If the world was like them, we'd have kindness and peace.

But since you asked, broke-people mentality. They live beyond their means and the *second* you bring up anything regarding budgeting/saving/investing, you (me) are viewed as cheap/don't know how to live life/etc.

The best lesson is a bought one. Your in-laws may have to learn that the hard way. You may not be in a position to help them financially, especially if you have a family to support.

My husband has a twin. Both of them feel anything of his is hers. This seems to include full access to our house, fridge, computer, TV and occasionally my wardrobe. Also he tells her everything so anything I want to confide in him will also go to her and I guess whoever she chooses to talk to. I think I actually hate her. Also MIL for being a d**k, ditto FIL.

You know those white women who start drama with black women and then turn around and act the victim. My MIL does that.

Spends too much money on a gift you already said you didn't want(Kurig) and gave multiple reasons. Open up the gift, smile politely and say thank you and put it to the side with the other items. 20 minutes later she just randomly throws a tantrum about how we don't like anything she gives us. We said NOTHING other than thank you. We didn't act crazy excited but we controlled our faces and were polite

She cooks exactly the food you don't like and then gets upset when you try it but don't like it.

So much around the bad food and her two face behavior when she is around her family.

She magically made it infertility problems all about her. Should have never told anyone tbh

How little they seem to care about my partner. Since he didn't choose Maga or the LDS church, he's lucky if he gets a phone call on his birthday.

They are good people, but they are also the pickiest eaters I have ever met. It has to be genetic. Their entire diet consists of Rice-A-Roni, overcooked, baked chicken, and Ragu pasta. They will not venture out and try anything that they deem too 'exotic' or potentially mildly spicy. For example: Chicken tacos sound too wild for them. It has to be Taco Bell-style ground beef.

Mil is the sweetest person on earth, but she loves to touch people. I dislike anyone but my husband and son touching me. No reason for it, I just don't want to be touched.

FIL looks like the villain from Up and acts like Sheldon Cooper, only throw in Boomer humor/racism with it. The important thing is, HE knows he's charming and the smartest person in the room, even if no one else thinks so.

Luckily, MIL divorced FIL 30 years ago.

My MIL? Love her, she's great.

My FIL? Cheated on my MIL with her sister, and still sees said sister on a weekly basis while somehow still remaining married to my MIL. Bought himself and the sister a new car while my MIL drives a 20-year-old F-150. When he is home all he does is drink Budweiser from 11 am on while watching TV. And complains about everyone else in the family. Doesn't come to his grandkids' birthday parties and just hands us some cash to go buy something and to say it's from him. On several occasions, he's been at nice dinners and gets drunk and belligerent to the point of embarrassing everyone with him.

So when it comes to my FIL, to answer the question...just about everything.

My SIL is fun to party with but doesn’t know when to cool it. She’s had a lot of jobs and some have included professional photography and photography as a hobby. SIL is from way out of town and volunteered to be our wedding photographer. Not just take pictures, but as a major gift to us, the whole package. We discussed what it entailed and thanked her plenty. Night before she wanted to throw a party and we asked her not to knowing how much she drinks. SIL ended up showing up to hair and makeup barely able to stand and never really recovered into the wedding.

And yes, people have talked to her about her drinking since.

The word OP is looking for here is “alcoholic.” SIL is a binge-drinking alcoholic.

How s****y their relationship is. It's gotten bad recently. My mil was diagnosed with terminal cancer a few months ago and my FIL immediately acted as if she's already dead. Ever since I became a part of that family, almost 20 years ago, I wondered why they were together. Mom has moved out of the house and wants to sell it; FIL wants to sell and move to Florida where he doesn't know anyone and keeps saying, "no on will take care of me." FIL makes no sense and I'm here for the ride. It sadly makes me happy that my family is dead.

I got sooo lucky with a narcissist in-law but also she lives her own life that doesn’t involve me clubbing out with her anymore so yeah. This lady had the audacity to say I didn’t want to let her family see my baby first day out of the hospital, while her family was on the way to my house (which is a couple of blocks away) and she stayed home. Smh.

My FIL is a piece of s**t alcoholic that makes my wife an emotional mess. I’d like to think she’ll feel better after he finally drinks himself to death, but I doubt it. 23 years of putting up with that f*****g guy and his ability to make my wife sad.

They keep a “Young Earth” book on their coffee table. They are super conservative and religious.
